I recently noticed that there is some dns name lookup so something of
that sort happening at startup (for the memory inspector) that can
"lock" on machines with DNS issues. Try commenting out host name
related lookup in SystemInformation.cxx (I can send more details when
I get to work, if needed). Is that a possibility in your setup? I
believe Alan did a 256 node test before we tagged the release so >64
pvserver should not be an issue.
